In the biting cold wind, the three lamps in the front, middle and back of the courtyard kept swaying.
The light it emitted also flickered, and the light was uncertain!
After the meal, the Jia family's dining table was in a mess. Oil stains could be seen everywhere, but they did not make people feel uncomfortable.
This was because not every family could see such a scene!
The stick guy pestered the slightly drunk Silly Zhu to go set off firecrackers, Jia Dang was also cheering at the side,
However, this kind of playful scene made the person involved in it feel dazed.
Jia Zhang-shi seemed to see her son's shadow in Silly Zhu, and her eyes immediately became moist,
She wiped it quietly when no one was looking.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu, who was standing at the side, also thought of her husband. She thought of the warm days when the family was together.
Looking at Silly Pillar's tall body, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
There was a hint of emotion in his eyes that he had never seen before.
Thinking of his profession, a bold idea popped up in his mind, but he did not show it on his face.
She was worried that her mother-in-law would find out!
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai turned to Jia Zhangshi and said,"
"Sister-in-law, look at how well Dongxu's wife has raised the three children.
Sister-in-law, you'll be blessed in the future!”
When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, although she was vigilant, she still smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai,"
"What good fortune! This 'half-grown brat ate me till I'm paulow'!
If it wasn't for his uncle's help, how could the stick be so good?!”
Yi Zhonghai smiled and waved his hand."
"Sister-in-law, I don't dare to take credit for it. Zhu Zi's heart is still good.
Look, all the lunchboxes he brought back have been given to you. Even the deaf old lady hasn't eaten much.
Right, Old Madam?"
Yi Zhonghai turned to ask the Deaf old lady.
However, the old lady leaned on her walking stick with both hands and asked in confusion,
"Zhonghai, what did you say? I can't…hear!"
As she said this, she shook the walking stick in her hand to express her meaning!
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he quickly pressed down on the wooden stick that was waving in the air and whispered into the Deaf Old Lady's ear,"
"It's nothing. I'm just saying that you'll definitely live to a hundred years old!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Deaf Old Lady smiled and said,
"Don't be so loud. I'm not really deaf!”
Although he sounded like he was blaming her, his expression was not in sync with his tone!
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai said to Second Aunt and Jia Zhangshi,"
"Alright, I can hear it again!"
When the two of them heard this, they laughed.
The scene was extremely harmonious and the atmosphere was extremely warm!
However, did the Deaf Old Lady really not care that her lunch box was stolen?
This was a question that only she knew!
Silly Pillar, who was not far away, did not know about this. He was running around with the stick, chasing each other.
When He Yushui saw this scene, the grievance in her heart was indescribable.
She only felt that her brother had been snatched away, and she also felt a sense of powerlessness as she gradually drifted away from her brother.
So she decided to talk to her brother later!
Under the silent starry sky, the New Year approached step by step. Everyone was waiting, following the tradition of keeping watch over the New Year.
Some of the younger children leaned on their fathers 'thighs and nodded their heads.
He was still confused!
Every time this happened, the parents would whisper into the child's ear,"
"We can set off firecrackers after the New Year celebration!”
Every time he heard this, the child, who was still in a daze and very tired, immediately became energetic.
Instantly, he was in high spirits. Then, he widened his eyes and waited for the moment to shoot the cannon!
However, no one in the Siheyuan knew exactly when the new year was.
After all, watches were a rarity in this era!
Therefore, this sentence was basically a lie from his parents!
As for how to cover up the lie, it was simple.
After playing for a day, the child would eventually fall asleep. The next day, she would just push the responsibility to the child.
Who asked him to not last until midnight?!
Qin Huairu was worried that her son would freeze to death. After a while, she called the stick to her side and patted the snowflakes off his body.
Yi Zhonghai said to the crowd,"
"Why don't we disperse? The weather is quite cold!”
When Silly Pillar heard this, he said without hesitation,"
"Don't, Grandpa Yi!
It's the eve of the new year, why are you sleeping so early? Let's play for a while more!"
Yi Zhonghai saw that Silly Zhu was refuting him and thought to himself,"
"I still haven't tamed him. I have to work harder in the future!”
But on the surface, he smiled and said to Shazhu,"
"Zhu Zi, you can't always think about yourself!
You have to think about the stick and the children, and you also have to think about whether the old lady can take it, don't you think so?”
Hearing that, Silly Zhu nodded his head resentfully and accepted Yi Zhonghai's teachings!
However, the deaf old lady knocked on her walking stick and said,
"Don't talk about my grandson like that. If he wants to continue playing, then let him play!
I'm fine!"
Hearing this, Silly Zhu did not wait for Yi Zhonghai to speak and took the initiative to admit his mistake,"
"I was wrong. I didn't think too much.
First Uncle was right. One shouldn't only think about oneself. It was better to go back!”
Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction and told everyone to go home.
He Yushui followed behind Shazhu, neither too fast nor too slow.
When Shazhu opened the door, he noticed his sister following behind him and asked curiously,"
"Yu Shui, why are you following me instead of going back to your room to rest?”
When He Yushui heard that, she shook her head silently and said,"
"Brother, I have something to ask you. Let's go in!”
When Silly Pillar heard this, he touched the back of his head and said in a negotiating tone,"
"Yushui, is what you want to ask important?
If it wasn't important, he could talk about it tomorrow morning. Now, he suddenly felt tired!”
When He Yushui heard this, she looked at her brother with a firm gaze and said with certainty,"
"Brother, it's very important! If I don't get an answer tonight, I won't be able to sleep!”
When Silly Pillar heard this, he turned his body and said helplessly,"
"Then come in!"
The two of them entered the house.
He Yushui didn't sit across from Shazhu, but sat on his left side. He looked at Shazhu and said,"
"Brother, why did you give the lunch box to the Jia family?”
Silly Zhu said matter-of-factly,"
"The Jia family is in trouble! Ever since Jia Dongxu passed away, Sister Qin had only earned that little a month with her three children.
I looked pitiful, so I helped her!"
He Yushui asked in disbelief,"
"Brother, the people in the hospital all say that the Jia family is not poor. At that time, Jia Dongxu's accident at the rolling mill caused a lot of compensation!”
Who knew that when Silly Pillar heard this, he waved his hand and said,"
"What? First Uncle said that they had already spent all their money.
Sister Qin's mother-in-law and Xiao Dang did not have a city residence and could only eat food that was not planned.
That's why First Master asked me to help them!”
When He Yushui heard this, she was extremely puzzled."
"Grandpa Yi?"
Seeing this, Shazhu said matter-of-factly,"
"That's right! I think First Uncle is right.
I'm the only one who can help in the quad!”
Looking at the smug expression on her brother's face, and listening to his words of "one person eating and the whole family not hungry",
He Yushui suddenly felt a bucket of cold water pouring down on her head.
His entire heart turned cold!
She stared blankly at her blood-related brother. Her lips trembled slightly as she took a deep breath and said,
"What about me? I want to grow up too. If you give the Jia family all the lunchboxes, what am I going to eat?”
When Silly Zhu heard that, he felt a little awkward. However, he remembered Yi Zhonghai's words and said firmly,"
"Yushui, you're almost in high school. Don't fight with children for food!”
As soon as he said that, He Yushui's tears flowed down like a broken river.
Seeing this, Silly Zhu also felt that he had gone too far, so he added,"
"How about this? Aren't you going to live on campus after high school?
I'll give you five yuan a month. You can buy whatever you want!
What do you think?"
When He Yushui heard this, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Food stamps were limited. No matter how much money one had, it was not as useful as one imagined.
However, this might be the best condition that he could get, so he wiped his tears and said to Shazhu,"
"Deal?"
Seeing this, Silly Pillar heaved a sigh of relief and smiled,"
"Deal!"
When He Yushui heard this, she snorted at Silly Zhu and left with an unhappy expression.
When she reached the door of her room, she turned her head and took a deep look in the direction of the Jia family and the Yi family. Her eyes were calm, like a pool of stagnant water. Then, she entered the room.
Silly Zhu next door thought of the scene just now and muttered,"
"Sister Qin, I still have to help. Otherwise, who will wash my clothes for me?
Moreover, First Uncle was right. One should not be too selfish! Without my help,
How can Sister Qin's family survive?"
At this point, Silly Pillar smiled proudly. He suddenly felt a sense of mission, and what he was doing was great!
